We all probably knew that mulberry trees produce pretty white flowers in the Spring and learned from stains on our sidewalks (and sometimes our cars) that birds eat mulberries, but many of us have never personally eaten a mulberry. Mulberries are delicious eaten right off the tree. Mulberries can be used in smoothies, oatmeal, jams, syrups, pies or just about anyplace you would use any berry. Mulberries can be frozen or dried. While mulberries are in season, eat a handful! A delicious, and nutritious, snack. AND ITS FREE!!
